This trusted website I have been using for years is being blocked by AVG stating it has a virus: https://cricketonlinehd.com/blog/tag/paid-live-cricket-hd/ I’ve contacted the website and they assure me they are virus-free. I have friends who are using the site without problems. Would it be safe to disconnect AVG while watching the site? Or is there a better solution? Thanks and bet wishes, Jack see more...

March 22, 2023 · Like 2 · Follow 1 Best Answer chosen by Esa Bella Bee John Smith Regarding the use of AVG VPN for off-page activities on your website and its potential impact on SEO and marketing efforts, I’d like to address your concerns. Using a VPN to change your location can have both advantages and potential drawbacks. Here are a few points to consider: Security: AVG VPN is a well-known VPN service that offers encryption and secure browsing. It can help protect your online activities from potential threats, such as hackers or data snoopers. However, it’s important to note that no VPN can provide complete security, and vulnerabilities can still exist. Privacy: By changing your location with AVG VPN, you can access websites and content that might be restricted in your current location. This can be useful for competitive research, localized marketing efforts, or accessing region-specific services. However, be mindful of the specific terms and conditions of the websites you visit and respect their usage policies. SEO Considerations: When it comes to SEO, using a VPN to change your location can be beneficial if you need to monitor search engine results in different regions or target specific geographic areas. It allows you to see how your website appears to users in different locations and helps you optimize your content accordingly. However, keep in mind that search engines may have their own ways of identifying and flagging VPN usage, and excessive or suspicious behavior might impact your SEO efforts negatively. Therefore, it’s advisable to use VPNs responsibly and avoid engaging in any black-hat SEO practices. Marketing Efforts: Changing your location using AVG VPN can be useful for marketing purposes, particularly if you want to analyze local competitors, perform market research, or assess the effectiveness of localized ad campaigns. It allows you to view your website and marketing materials from different perspectives, tailoring your strategies to specific target audiences. Nevertheless, it’s important to maintain transparency and comply with advertising regulations of the regions you are targeting.

The laptop is running very slow. Normal Youtube videos are taking 2-3mins to load/buffer. AVG Internet Security version is 22.1.3219 (Build 22.1.6921.709). I have Windows 7. There is a lot of hard disk space available. I don’t play games or download big files. Normal websites are not loading properly. I have checked the control panel and AVG is not installed twice. Please help. Thank you. see more... March 3, 2022 · Like 1 · Follow 0 Best Answer chosen by Madhur M Midhun Aloor (Foundever) Thank you for sharing the screenshots, Madhur.

March 4, 2022 · Like 1 · Dislike 0 Show 2 answers Ian Hell On Wheels AVG Free Hi, I currently have an isseue with AVG Free where it blocks an application - Dynojet Powercore from launching the application interface but the service is running in Windows task manger. I have contacted Dynojet UK and USA and they have not had any other clients with this problem as yet. They did remotley access a base unit with Dynojet powercore and AVG installed and confirmed it was AVG as when it is removed with AVG clear the apllication loads correctly. We have this Dynojet Powercore software on 1 base unit and 2 laptops all with the same result as when AVG is removed the application runs as it should. This iseue is the same with Avast which we did also try. All Pc’s are Win 11 22H2 or 22H1 with a much higher spec than is required. Currently the base and 1 laptop do not have AVG installed as the Dynojet Powercore software is needed for accessing Motorcyce Tuning. Any thoughts would be appreciated or if someone could try the above application and generate the same iseue. Thanks see more...
